Reinforced concrete flat slabs consist of a continuous, thin concrete plate that rests on a grid of columns. The supporting surface of the columns is very small compared to the floor plan dimensions, leading to concentrations of shear forces near the colum ...

Punching of edge columns with and without shear reinforcement: an experimental investigation

Aurelio Muttoni, Diego Hernández Fraile, Andri Setiawan, Júlia Borges Dos Santos

Most research efforts in the past related to the punching resistance of reinforced concrete slabs have concentrated on the response of internal slab-column connections, where significant advances in the state-of-the-art have been performed. Other than inte ...

Redistribution of shear forces in reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement is a key aspect for the assessment of the shear capacity of wide beams and slabs. Such redistributions are due to the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (both ...

Dependency of punching shear resistance and membrane action on boundary conditions of reinforced concrete continuous slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Beatrice Belletti

The design of reinforced concrete flat slabs can be governed at failure by punching shear close to concentrated loads or columns. Geometrical features, reinforcement layouts and in-plane forces provided by external vertical elements, such as shear walls, c ...

The mechanics of punching in reinforced concrete slabs and footings without shear reinforcement

João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Punching shear failures of structural concrete members have been the focus of attention of numerous works presented over the last decades. Although various rational approaches have been developed to predict these failures, there is still no unanimity on a ...

Efficiency Factors for Plastic Design in Concrete: Influence of Brittleness in Compression, High Tech Concrete: Where Technology and Engineering Meet

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

A large number of design approaches for structural concrete rely on the applicability of limit analysis. This is for instance the case of bending and shear design in members with transverse reinforcement, where it is assumed that plastic compression fields ...

Punching strength of continuous flat slabs

Jürgen Einpaul

Reinforced concrete slabs with uniform thickness are common in residential and commercial buildings but can also be found in other types of structures. Such slabs are susceptible to punching shear failures, where a supporting column penetrates through the ...

Punching shear capacity of continuous slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jürgen Einpaul

Provisions for punching shear design of reinforced concrete slabs are usually calibrated on the basis of results from tests on isolated specimens that simulate the slab zone within the points of contraflexure around a column. However, the punching behavior ...

ACI Structural Journal2016

An effective method to strengthen existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is to add a thin layer of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced cement-based Composite (UHPFRC), with or without steel rebars, over the concrete slab to create a composite ele ...
